Dungeon.png Dungeons are instanced areas teeming with enemies and bosses, fought by a party of 4 players (1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 DPS). Each instance of a dungeon is separate from others and is exclusive to a specific party. Dungeons need to be unlocked through quests (many are unlocked as part of the main story). They also have level requirements (and, starting at level 50, item level requirements). Players below the level requirement cannot enter the dungeon. Players above the level requirement are level synced to the maximum level permitted for the dungeon. Dungeons are some of the most common instances to be played using Duty Finder matching.

For example: Sastasha's level requirements are 15-18. Level 14 players cannot enter the dungeon; and level 19 and above players are level synced down to level 18 upon entering.

Some dungeons may have two difficulties: regular and hard. "Hard" dungeons are remixes of the original dungeon with new enemies and pathing through the dungeon, but are generally not significantly more difficult than the original, and can be completed using matched parties. Hard difficulty dungeons are available at Lv. 50, 60, and 70.

Dungeons contain treasure coffers throughout the map and after defeating each boss. Lower level dungeons may have environmental "puzzles" or branching paths with optional treasure coffers, but all dungeons past Lv. 50 (excluding Variant Dungeon Variant Dungeons) have a streamlined linear layout. Most dungeons are divided into three sections, with a boss at the end of each section. Dungeons below an expansion's level cap reward gear that is useful for characters that are leveling up. Dungeons at the current level cap reward gear that has a lower item level than gear from raids or capped tomestones, or the most recent crafted gear. However, dungeon gear is not subject to weekly loot restrictions and is free to acquire, so it is useful as "catch-up" gear for players. Many dungeons drop rare minions, some of which can be sold on the Market Board for good prices. Level cap dungeons also reward random combat materia from defeating enemies.[1]

Players can use three different systems to complete dungeons with a party of NPCs instead of other players:

Between patch 6.1 and patch 6.5, many main scenario dungeons were overhauled to make them compatible with Duty Support. Starting from patch 7.1, optional dungeons in Duty Roulette: Leveling will also be overhauled and have Duty Support added. These overhauls encompassed reworks of several bosses to remove or rework obscure boss mechanics and introduce common mechanic markers, a visual "language" used for many encounters in the game, at an early level. Lower-level optional dungeons that were not reworked maintain some obscure mechanics that are absent in reworked or higher-level dungeons.

Other Dungeon Types

There are other dungeon types available, although these are not required for main scenario quest progression.

Deep Dungeons

Main article: Deep Dungeon

Deep Dungeons are procedurally generated, 100-200 floor dungeons with a self-contained progression system and "rogue-like" mechanics. They can be completed solo or with a party of up to four players with no role restrictions.

Variant and Criterion Dungeons

Main article: Variant and Criterion Dungeons

Variant Dungeons are non-linear dungeons with multiple branching paths that are decided based on player choice. Boss mechanics will differ based on the path taken and random events. The player will accompany an NPC during the dungeon, who will not participate in combat. They can be completed solo or with a party of up to four players with no role restrictions.

Criterion Dungeons are high-difficulty linear dungeons comparable to extreme trials or savage raids and are aesthetically similar to variant dungeons. These require a four-player light party with 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 DPS. They are available in two difficulties: Normal and Savage.
